Walton Mountain (8,931 feet (2,722 m)) is in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. [3] Two unnamed hanging glaciers are located to the east and northeast of the summit. Mount Jackson is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) to the north-northeast. From the west, Walton at left edge of frame, Stimson at far right
Topography of Europe. This article lists the highest natural elevation of each sovereign state on the continent of Europe defined physiographically. Not all points in this list are mountains or hills, some are simply elevations that are not distinguishable as geographical features.
Walton Mountains is an isolated chain of three predominantly snow-covered mountain masses, rising to about 1,450 m at Mount McArthur, extending south from Schubert Inlet for 25 miles (40 km) in central Alexander Island, Antarctica.
The Jura Mountains' location is still a topic for debate. A possible tectonic factor is the north–south extensional Upper Rhine Graben to the north. The Alps continue fairly smoothly into the following related Alpine mountain ranges: the Apennines to the southwest, the Dinarides to the southeast and the Carpathians to the northeast.
There are at least 108 mountains on Earth with elevations of 7,200 m (23,600 ft; 4.5 mi) or greater above sea level. Of these, 14 are more than 8,000 m (26,000 ft; 5.0 mi). [1] The vast majority of these mountains are located on the edge of the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate in China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
Several glaciers are located in the Alps, the longest of which is the aletsch Glacier in the Bernese Alps. They may be found in all of the higher groups of mountains from the Dauphiné Alps in France to the Hohe Tauern in central Austria, and the main ascent routes on many of the highest mountains pass over glaciers.
For a list by height, see the list of mountains of the Alps. By descending to 1,500 m of prominence, this list includes all the Ultras of the Alps. Some famous peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Eiger, are not Ultras because they are connected to higher mountains by high cols and therefore do not achieve enough topographic prominence.
